Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 14:36:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1304080563.2931.41.camel@alex-2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1304066264.2931.23.camel@alex-2>
Sorry for replying to myself but i'll try to explain this a little bit
easier:
- If the channel is not *fixed*, the channel type is only advisory.
This means that a merge of two HT40 networks with fixed channels will
only take place if the HT40 configuration equals.
- When merging, the looser will obey the winner's HT configuration if
there is one. If not, keep the old one.
- If HT has been configured through iw and a non-HT network is to be
joined, iw's HT setting is used and announced.
HT configuration within an IBSS may get inhomogeneous as a HT station
may join from a non-HT beacon but there are other HT members.
- When receiving a different HT configuration from another member of our
BSSID, use this configuration (first beacon wins)
